Restoring a Rational® ClearQuest® database
About this task
When you restore from backup the Rational®
ClearQuest® database
for a UCM project, the following types of skew might be introduced:
- Activities defined in the PVOB might reference fields or records that do not exist in the Rational® ClearQuest® database.
- Any activity and stream names or titles that have been changed since the Rational® ClearQuest® database was backed up are different in the PVOB and the Rational® ClearQuest® database.
To analyze and, if necessary, fix these types of skew, use checkvob –ucm with the –crm_dbname option.
Procedure
- Restore the Rational®
ClearQuest® database.
Use the procedures specified by the database vendor. Verify that the restored database is working and accessible over the network.
- Run checkvob –ucm to
detect skew between the PVOB and the restored Rational®
ClearQuest® database.
The following command line checks all entries for a project named Release-6 in a Rational® ClearQuest® database named CQ-UCM-DB:
cleartool checkvob –ucm –crm_dbname CQ-UCM-DB –project Release-6
